love is the affectionate attachment towards something that causes you to put cathexis into that particular something. you love gaining knowledge, hence you're eager to go learn new things. you love to play games, hence you play games. you can fight for whatever cause you want or fight for nothing at all. the only thing that drives you towards anything is love. that's just what i think it is..
i cant exactly tell you what love is because i don't know what it feels like. my brain works too mechanically to tell you all these abstract emotional things. the way i see things is usually structured and need to meet certain criterias before i could say it is what it is. I do not know what criterias love is made up of. i think the only way to find love is to go out there and gain experience in trying new things. i lack experience since ive always been doing routinely stuff. routines kill creativiuty and limits your expressiveness
some people think love is when you're always thinking about that special someone or doing that something because you need him/her/it and you can't live without it. i think that's just an exaggeration. sure, it would be uncomfortable to be without the thing we love but it's bearable to live without it. one reason i try to stay out of a relationship is this. how can i say that i need that person when i dont? im a bad liar and i can't hyperbolicly prove my love to another. it hurts to hurt others too when you feel like you're taking advantage and you doubt your own love towards that person because you've always been on the receiving end of affection and unable to reciprocate that love. so, i guess you can say that love takes commitment too.
a commitment towards something you love should have no boundaries. you should literally die for a person if there is a need to. the best example of love i could give you is a parent who would sacrifice limbs to save his child because the child is his everything. once you get to that point in life, what you love becomes the sole reason of your existence. based on maslow's hierarchy of needs, love is placed on step above safety. apart ffrom having food, water and shelter(physiology and safety) in life, love drives a person to survive. why do we love our children though?
probably because it's in our nature to stay alive. we don't live forever but our genes do. can we all stop for a second and just admire how great our individual existence is? we were brought into this world through thousands of years of lineage. and it's the power of love that brought us here. if any of our great grancestor mothers did not love any of the members in succeeding generations for that 9 months in her, could we have been alive?
we can all blindly say "i love .....something or someone" but how many of us can truly explain what love is?
love is a feeling and it's subjective to everyone how love makes them feel. so you'r ebetter off finding your own definition of love than to ask me. running out of characters bye
